about

the sirens of titan


track: 19

recorded: 20170903

duration: 10:00

type: semiambient


take 4 of 11 on the day,




take four, is the ultimate version of two instances of "whisped stretchy" - and I really, really lost myself in this performance, which turned out to be a stunning and very exact 10:00 - ten minutes! - in length.

In many ways, this is my favourite track from the session, building on the experiences of the first three takes, and here I play a long game that works out exceptionally well.

I am able to develop themes more fully, I am able to experiment more, and I think this is one of the most successful of all of the TC-11 pieces - it just works, and the ten minutes just flew by - I had no idea that the tune had gone on for that long. no idea!

it's unusual to be able to sustain a performance like this for such an extended time, but I am very glad I was able to, because the resulting track is the reward - unfolding over time in a unique way that the shorter pieces simply cannot.


the title of this piece, is of course, a reference to my favourite Kurt Vonnegut novel, "the sirens of titan" - an amazing, fantastic book - which I think translates quite well into a ten minute ambient musical journey.
